So, what's with the high price tag? For one thing, Lenovo has a few unique features on its Chromebook, such as its signature red trackpad nub and a rubberized bumper coating the back of the laptop's monitor, rather than the plastic construction on the other Chrome OS devices. And, the Lenovo ThinkPad Chromebook is more sturdy – the corners, hinges and hinge brackets have all been reinforced, which makes sense for student use. The other differences driving up the price are less apparent if you're just looking at it, but you also get a high-definition, 1366x768 LED display, a 6.5-hour battery, and an Intel Celeron processor inside.

Other specs include 16GB of on-board storage, an HDMI port, two USB 3.0 ports and one USB 2.0 port. You can check the rest of the specs, and read up on the newest Chromebook in Google's blog post. The new Lenovo ThinkPad X131e Chromebook will go on sale February 26.
